Dear Reader, Love Joni Parker

Dear Reader…

Thanks for your interest in my book. I know there are thousands of books to read and I’m grateful you chose mine. Writing has become a passion for me, something I’ve not experienced in my life before. I’m a late-bloomer. I didn’t start writing in earnest until a few years ago. Up to that point, I was focused on work and family. I retired from work and my husband passed away so writing is my life.

Several years ago, Peter Jackson produced a series of films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. I fell in love with it and out of it grew a character. Her full name is Lady Alexin Dumwalt but she likes to be called Alex. She brought a lot of baggage with her in the way of stories. When I put them down on paper, I had enough material for seven books, two series. The first series called, The Seaward Isle Saga, has three books—The Black Elf of Seaward Isle, Tangled Omens, and Blood Mission. If you look on Amazon, you’ll also find a short story, The Island Game. That was the result of my editor asking me for a history of Seaward Isle written in first person. Anyway, this series covers Alex’s younger years as she grows up on Seaward Isle, an island surrounded by storms created by Zeus and held to the rest of the Elf World (Eledon) with the use of wormholes. Yes, a little Greek mythology and science fiction come into play.

My second series, The Chronicles of Eledon, has four books—Spell Breaker, The Blue Witch, Gossamer, and Noble Magic. Alex, now a teenager, moves in with her Elf grandmother to learn about her Elf roots and her ability to perform magic. Not only must she stop the storms around Seaward Isle but she must also find a way to keep it from falling and crashing into the mortal world (Earth).

With the new series, The Admiralty Archives, Alex encounters a new problem. Over 700 sailors and 5 large warships have ended up in Eledon, somehow and she must get them back to Earth. How? Good question and she needs all of her experiences in the first two series to help her. I spent a lot of hours researching this problem including a 10-day trip to the U.K. And you thought I just made it up. Read on and enjoy the journey.

Sincerely,

Joni Parker

About the Book:

A NATO training exercise goes terribly wrong when five warships from different countries are mysteriously transported to Eledon, the Realm of the Elves. The warrior Lady Alexin is charged to escort the troops back home to London in the year 2031 with the aid of the Wizard Ecstasy and a magic shrinking potion. Yet, when the authorities question her story, Alex is detained and imprisoned under suspicion of terrorism. Caught in a web of politics, betrayal and bungling bureaucracy, the confusing world of the future will push her magical gifts to their limit, and her own future will hang in the balance, caught between “justice” and the place she calls home.
